Why do you need to do such a thing? Also, no.

You can use FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA() to get the model (regardless of whether the touched part is a body part or accessory parts). Then from that, you can just get the humanoid from the model.

And while depending on the part’s parent being a model works, there is a possibility that the ‘Touched’ event detects an accessory’s part (which does not directly have the character’s model as its parent).

local part: BasePart

part.Touched:Connect(function(touch: BasePart)
	local model = touch:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")
	local hum = model and model:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
	
	if hum then
		-- do code
	end
end)
